Empire Village Inn

"Awesome homemade Pizza!!!! Crust was amazing!!! Service was totally insane. I didn't have to ask for anything...the waitress seemed to read my mind???? Impeccable!!!"

"So glad we found this place. A perfect pit stop to refuel our bodies after spending the day at the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Great beer options on draft. You must order the brussel sprouts -some of the best I've ever had. The BBQ pork sandwich was excellent. I didn't realize it didn't come with any sides-had a great house salad with delicious home made ranch. Chef salad was tasty, but the homemade thousand island wasn't what I expected. Kids chicken tenders were large portions and fries were fresh and crispy! We walked in at 310 (opened at 3) and were the first ones in, it was packed by the time we left at 4. Family friendly."

"Delicious food! My husband and I were hungry after a long day so we ordered a tap root beer, beer cheese pretzel bites, grilled cheese, large salad and a burger. Everything was delicious! The large salad was huge! The grilled cheese was probably the best I've ever had. We also ordered a pizza last night- that was yummy too. The only reason for four stars is because it was a bit more than we'd have liked to spend BUT the price seems normal for the area!"

"We had a great time. Great food, wide selection of local brews, excellent (eccentric) playlist. Only complaints are that the fried pickles, while still very good, were insanely salty and a tad bit overdone, and I would not recommend dining in if you are in a hurry. That's not our northern way. We had a pizza, garlic fries, BLT, a burger, breadsticks, onion rings, and a blue gill sandwich at our table. Everyone raved and ate too much."

"This was one of the highlights of our trip to Empire! The drumsticks were a shock! I don't ever want a chicken wing again after having those! The pizza had the best garlic butter crust I have ever had! They were so busy with takeout orders and I can understand why! Our server was prompt and so friendly! This is a great local place to visit and the prices were also so reasonable. I need to mention too that they have gluten free bread and crust available!"
